Empire worked closely with Hanwha Life on one of their projects to collaborate with global professionals and to build a network of global talents.
The event was called Global Mentorship Camp 2024 by Hanwha Life which was an intimate 4-day conference and retreat that took place in over 10 locations in San Francisco and Napa Valley. Through an application process, they invited over 30 attendees that consisted of active emerging managers in venture capital and students aspiring to be future finance leaders who not only participated in insightful keynote sessions, but also received invaluable mentorship and built connections through various workshops, activities, and dinners.
In San Francisco, the main conference was held at the Battery, a prominent member’s only club, where special keynotes and conversations were presented by 5 industry leaders who covered a wide range of topics of venture capital, investing, neuroscience and AI, and building communities. Private dinners took place at the Four Seasons and the Conservatory at One Sansome. On the third day, attendees traveled to a resort in Napa Valley where more workshops and lectures were held. The attendees bonded through activities such as golfing and wine tasting, followed by an exclusive dinner at a winery on the final evening.

Empire is proud to work with corporations from around the world, delivering intimate and curated experiences to a group of specialized professions and high net worth.
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
